Dragon Dreaming is an approach to design projects that are in service of the Earth, in service for the Community and in service for Personal Growth.
Dragon Dreaming points out that every successful project goes through 4 important stages: The Dreaming Stage, the Planning Stage, the Doing Stage and the Celebration Stage.
Each stage is as important as the other. We should dedicate ¼ of our ressources to every one of these stages.

The Evoneers’ Journey is a social entrepreneurship training for changemakers. Focusing on social innovation for resilient communities, it was created for people seeking to marry purpose with livelihood. The open source curriculum grew from the recognition that while many trainings support individuals and communities to develop practices for deepening their environmental, social and cultural bases, there is a need to strengthen the economic dimension of sustainability and resilience.

Appreciative Inquiry is about the coevolutionary search for the best in people, their organizations, and the relevant world around them. In its broadest focus, it involves systematic discovery of what gives “life” to a living system when it is most alive, most effective, and most constructively capable in economic, ecological, and human terms. AI involves, in a central way, the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system’s capacity to apprehend, anticipate, and heighten positive potential.
